NEWARK -- Newark police are seeking help from the public in identifying three men suspected of robbing a grocery store at gunpoint in broad daylight on Thursday.

The men walked in to La Mina De Oro Grocery at 51 Oriental St. around 12:40 p.m. and stole money from the cash register, police Director Anthony Ambrose said.

The first suspect is described as between 18 and 21 years old, weighing about 160 pounds and standing about 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-8. He was wearing dark colored plants and a brown short-sleeve shirt with a Marilyn Monroe print on the front, the police director said in a press release.

The second suspect, also between 18 and 21 years old and weighing about 160 pounds, is about 5-foot-6, Ambrose said. He was wearing a white tank top shirt and blue jeans and has dread locks.

The third suspect is described as between 24 and 28 years old. He is about 6-feet tall and has a light-brown complexion. He was wearing a blue short-sleeve shirt with "Nike" on the front, dark jeans, white sneakers and a do-rag on his head. He has a tattoo on his right elbow.

While police are actively searching for these suspects, they are also asking for help from the public in finding them, Ambrose said.
